Unremarkable Demise

Rate: 8 Flag

Before we had an excessive experience
We had no experience.

Like you, I understood
No sound--it was time to hold
our solitude in one hand.
The other free.

I fought for my life until
No life.
Like the vessel of a dream
made empty,
blood and tissue
unresponsive.

Gray, flat, like the wings
of a fallen bird,
I lay broken
developed for you
to claim me dead.

I read it about three times. Nice. Life is as far as we take it. Then there is our demise, and somebody else has to claim it. Sad, but true.

I feel like I am viewing my memorial from the chaos happening in my life. I must process this more...
